"You want to challenge me?"

Facing Wang Ao's undisguised provocation, Ye Qingzhou was momentarily taken aback.

He had come over this time because Yali Middle School had already informed him in advance, hoping that Ye Qingzhou could visit as a guest, share his advanced martial arts experiences, and impart some insights. There was absolutely no intention of stepping on Ye Qingzhou to elevate their own martial arts prodigy.

Thus, even the regular challenge segment at the exchange event had been canceled in advance.

After all, in the eyes of Yali Middle School's administration, Ye Qingzhou, who had mastered Thunderous to the point of mastery, had no weaknesses. Among martial artists of the same level, he was undoubtedly invincible.

Currently, Ye Qingzhou was akin to Zhangg Xinwu when he first debuted, so powerful that he had no friends and crushed countless martial arts prodigies of his age.

Even some old veterans who were revered in the martial arts world were later defeated by Zhangg Xinwu's fists and palms, fearing him like a tiger.

Ye Qingzhou now also demonstrated qualifications and potential that surpassed Zhangg Xinwu. So before inviting Ye Qingzhou, there was a consensus within Yali Middle School that the school's martial arts prodigies must listen intently to Ye Qingzhou's "lecture" with a learning attitude.

However, for a martial arts genius like Wang Ao, who was in his rebellious phase, such an arrangement apparently had the opposite effect.

Everyone is of the same generation, why should I only listen to you from the audience?

Without having faced each other, why does the school think I'll lose?

Unconvinced, Wang Ao, stirred up by the school's arrangement, now wanted to witness firsthand just how strong this legendarily talented Ye Qingzhou could be!

"It's not a challenge, just a friendly match."

Wang Ao stood tall, his right hand tilted holding a long spear named Rising Edge, forged entirely from heavy iron, with the spear tip as red as blood, capable of sparking dazzling flashes of fire with intense friction.

True to his name, Wang Ao was innately proud, with a wild and unrestrained personality.

The more people told him not to do something, the more he insisted on doing it, and doing it so well that those who underestimated him had nothing left to say.

At this moment, Wang Ao twirled his spear provocatively, looking at Ye Qingzhou: "What, are you scared?"

"Interesting."

Ye Qingzhou smiled, rose, and walked down the podium step by step, finally standing in front of Wang Ao: "Originally, with your abilities, you weren't qualified to challenge me. But since I'm visiting Yali Middle School, I'll give your school's leaders some face and personally step down to guide you."

"Hehe, I hope your skills are as wild as you are."

Wang Ao couldn't sense any robust qi and blood or flowing inner breath from Ye Qingzhou, so he naturally assumed that Ye Qingzhou's inner cultivation and external training were a mess, making his reputation undeserved.

And he was determined to prove right here and now that he's the true extraordinary prodigy!

On the judges' stand, Deng Jianxin, the head of Yali Middle School's Fighting Center, was as frantic as an ant on a hot pan.

He hurriedly found Xu Lan, pleading: "Teacher Xu, Student Wang Ao has been trained by Master Li Yanwen. Although his personality is a bit arrogant, he's not intrinsically bad."

Flame Spear Li Yanwen!

A martial arts master in Star City with a storied reputation, his spear techniques have reached perfection, and he's challenged numerous martial arts elites with his self-created "Nine Battles of the Prairie Fire" spear techniques, ranking among the world's top five hundred!

He's a legendary master-level martial artist on Blue Star's "Top 500" list!

As Li Yanwen's direct disciple, despite Wang Ao being of common birth, his status was no less than any second-generation cultivator from a noble martial arts family.

Xu Lan instantly understood Deng Jianxin's underlying meaning, fearing that Ye Qingzhou might not hold back and injure or even kill Wang Ao, putting him in a tough spot.

"Ye Qingzhou."

Xu Lan gave Ye Qingzhou a look.

And Ye Qingzhou instantly understood, silently thinking: "Connections really are a hassle."

Then he gazed calmly, without any emotional coloring, at Wang Ao.

Ye Qingzhou extended two fingers like a sword, generated Sword Qi, and drew a circle one meter in diameter as a focal point. With a tranquil tone, he said, "To make it fair, I'll stand still and let you strike. If you can push me out of this circle, you win."

These words caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd.

Especially on the side of Yali Middle School, the students in the various martial arts clubs were incensed, their expressions filled with discontent, feeling that Ye Qingzhou was too dismissive of Yali Middle School.

"Is Ye Qingzhou crazy?"

"No matter how much of a genius he is, this is way too arrogant, isn't it?"

"Does he really think winning the Cyan Wave Sword Fighting Competition means he can dismiss everyone? Wang Ao also won the Cloud Dream Spear Competition!

Members of Yali Middle School's Swordsmanship Club turned to Liang Jia: "Big Sister, what do you think?"

"Of course, I'm going to sit and watch!"

Liang Jia's cheeks puffed up with anger, feeling Ye Qingzhou was too conceited: "Wang Ao is the number one prodigy of Yali Middle School, with such high talent in spear techniques that even Master Li personally accepted him as a disciple, wholeheartedly teaching him. How dare Ye Qingzhou stand still and let him strike? Let's see how he embarrasses himself later!"

In the eyes of Yali Middle School students, they weren't very aware of how strong Ye Qingzhou truly was. Even Liang Jia only had one experience in crossing paths with Ye Qingzhou, and that was some time ago.
